Bibich Dalmatia Zutina Superstitious 2024

This is orange wine with a real reason to exist: Bibich calls Žutina an old, traditional Dalmatian way of making wine, with Debit fermented on its skins with native yeasts and very little else done to it. That makes it less a fashion statement and more a look at how white grapes were handled on this stretch of Croatia long before "skin contact" turned into a wine-bar buzzword. The family makes it entirely from Debit grown in their Plastovo and Promina vineyards. The vines average about 50 years old, grow in karst and limestone, and are farmed organically and picked by hand. Žutina belongs to the estate's "Domaine" line. Alen Bibich spent decades building this work, and his wife Vesna and the Bibich team now carry it on. If you're curious about orange wine, or about a Croatian grape most drinkers have never tasted, this is a great bottle to start with.

Flatiron's Take

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Grilled octopus with olive oil and potatoes; grilled sardines with lemon; Croatian pršut with hard sheep's cheese like Paški sir; roast chicken with garlic and rosemary; a mezze spread with hummus, grilled halloumi and marinated olives.

Tasting Profile

Expect the classic skin-contact profile: amber-gold in colour, with dried apricot, orange peel, chamomile and Mediterranean herbs, plus a savoury, slightly salty edge. Typically medium-bodied, with a gentle tannic grip from the skins and fresh acidity, finishing dry, nutty and pleasantly bitter. Think of a white wine with some of the texture of a light red.
